ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has commissioned its first scrap processing facility at its Khopoli manufacturing site in Maharashtra, with an annual capacity of 120 KTPA.
The facility is part of a ₹350 crore investment program by AM/NS India to strengthen domestic scrap supply chains and meet the growing demand for high-quality scrap for steel production.
By processing scrap at its own facilities, AM/NS India aims to enhance material quality and yield, reduce conversion and logistics costs, and formalize the scrap industry.
This development aligns with India's goal to increase the share of scrap metal in steel production to 50% by 2047 and supports the government's initiatives to boost domestic scrap availability.
